In the Appetizer Round, kumquats and croissants collide, as well as two super enthusiastic chefs racing for the fridge. Then in the Entrée Round, green beans and ground pork prove a surprisingly difficult challenge. And in the Dessert Round, when one chef makes a grits dish reminiscent of childhood, it's up to the judges whether the jaunt down Memory Lane will lead to the Winner's Circle.
The Kitchen's serving up easy, breezy recipes to cool things down in the dog days of summer! Katie Lee Biegel puts together a Ginger Garlic Steak and Noodle Salad. Geoffrey Zakarian whips up a refreshing Red and White Gazpacho, and Jeff Mauro makes his Famous Chicken Salad Croissant Sandwich. Sunny Anderson keeps cool with Chia Seed Oat Milk Puddings, and Alex Guarnaschelli beats the heat with Pickled Watermelon!
It's a busy day on the ranch for Ree Drummond as she fills her freezer with breakfast favorites and makes breakfast for the guys out working cattle. Her to-make list includes Freezer Breakfast Paninis and Very Berry Croissants, which are easy to heat and eat down the line.

Ree Drummond's daughter, Paige, has returned to work for the family business with Ladd, so Ree stocks her fridge with Sausage, Potato and Corn Chowder in a spin on Paige's favorite soup. Then, she fills the freezer with perfect grab-and-go Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches, ideal for early starts, some easy Homemade Pizza Snacks, inspired by the supermarket food she loved as a kid, and delicious Chocolate Toffee Crunch Cookies stuffed with sweets she adores.
